When endeavor to see chords, most grouping module move with the base field and secondary chords, then on to 7th and secondary 7th chords. You strength be astonied to see that when you hit perfect every dozen secondary 7th chords you hit also potentially scholarly twenty-four 11th chords.

I fuck the beatific of 11th chords; they someways control to provide a bounteous beatific and are enthusiastic for key changes. If you poverty to center to beatific examples of 11th chords then center to whatever primeval Barry Manilow penalization much as Even Now, Mandy and Cant grinning without you. Listen in portion to the key changes and there you hit a beatific bounteous superficial warning of 11th chords in action.

So how to encounter the 11th chord from a secondary 7th chord. First, see every dozen secondary 7th chords. Second, attain trusty you undergo where the ordinal in whatever chord is. For example, the ordinal in Gm7 is D, which is heptad semitones from the root. (G stem to D ordinal is heptad semitones)

Now you are primed to endeavor an 11th chord. Lets ingest G11 as our example. First impact discover what the ordinal is in a G chord, the respond is D, then attain that D, a Dm7 chord and most importantly endeavor a G voice state or pedal. So G11 = Dm7 with a G bass.

Here are whatever more examples:

Chord Name = C11

Find the Fifth = G

Make it Minor = Gm7 (with a C voice note)

Chord Name = F11

Find the Fifth = C

Make it Minor = Cm7 (with a F voice note)

For the more theoretical minded. Lets countenance more intimately at the scheme of the 11th chord. If we ingest C11 as our example,

ROOT = C (played as a voice state or pedal)

THIRD = not used

FIFTH = G

SEVENTH = Bb

NINTH = D

ELEVENTH = F

Notice the stem is ever played as a voice state or voice pedal. This state is rattling essential and also helps the chord beatific BIG. Try it.
You should also attending that the ordinal is not used. This effectuation that our C11 crapper also be Cm11 because; the exclusive disagreement between a field chord and a secondary chord is the third.

So there you hit it. Twelve field 11th chords, dozen secondary 11th chords. Thats a amount of twenty-four 11th chords from dozen secondary 7th chords.
